No mere accident

I've been to Kenting, Taidong, and Hualien since being in Taiwan. All three cities have magnificient views of the Pacific Ocean. Taidong and Hualien also have majestic green mountains. All my friend and I could do was stand in awe of the breath-taking views. It is hard for me to accept the notion that something that beautiful could have been created by mere chance. There must be an "Artist" at work, using Earth as the canvas and water, earth, wind etc. as the medium to create this master piece we live on. And you all know Who I'm talking about. He is the Artist of all artists and the Creator of all creators.

Thank You Lord...

Thank you Lord for the serendipitous encouragements from my students during times of self-doubt in my ability as a teacher. You have blessed me with skills that have allowed me to do an exceptional job at the school. Please continue to guide me through my teaching career and to gently remind me that everything I have comes from You. Thank you!

Obvious Choice

Surrounded by Buddhists, sometimes I try to imagine what spiritual fulfillment I would experience if I were a Buddhist. Quite frankly, the thought of living a life without God to lean on is frightening. I can't imagine being left to my own devices when a disaster strikes in my life. What a lonely place to be. The feeling of utter helplessness is paralyzing. It just strikes me as ludicrous to think that one can control the events in one's life. So the choice is obvious...God and Jesus Christ. What other religion boasts a God that has suffered the insufferable, Who promises to comfort and guide and most of all to lavish forgiveness on anyone who sincerely repents and accepts Him.
